What happens during the disease - alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis
Alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis is a condition caused by the long-term consumption of excessive amounts of alcohol, resulting in inflammation and scarring of the pancreas. this condition is caused by the toxic effects of alcohol on the pancreatic cells, leading to the destruction of the pancreatic tissue and the formation of scar tissue. the inflammatory response of the body to the damage caused by alcohol leads to further damage to the pancreas and can cause recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
